Gilboa/Conesville News by Dorothy Pickett

My Bills lost their home game with the Patriots Sunday evening. The season has just begun and I am hoping for more wins than losses.

Although I made up my mind I was not going to mow anymore except for where it was needed, by that time I was mowing the whole lawn on Monday. It was getting dark, so I decided to quit until the next day. While mowing oh my gosh there were five more freshly grown new mushroom puff balls. Wow the dust flew as I mowed over them. It was unbelievable how quickly new ones grew.

It was good to hear that Conesville’ s Irene Hess is back to herself once again. She had been quite ill for over a week. Eric Dahlberg also continues to get stronger as well.

The last day with the Farmers Market under the Pavilion at the Gilboa Museum went very well. They are looking forward to re-opening after Memorial Day next year. The opening reception for the wonderful artwork “Barns and Farms” was well attended and enjoyed by everyone. The show continues until Sunday, October 12. Be sure to stop by and view the paintings. The museum’s regular hours end this coming weekend. However, they will be holding special events throughout the rest of the year. Mark your calendars for these upcoming events.
